Third-period burst helps Sharks top Ducks

SAN JOSE, California (Ticker) -- The San Jose Sharks scored
three goals in the first 6:42 of the third period en route to a
5-2 preseason victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday.

With the game even at 1-1, defenseman Dan Boyle snapped the tie
just 33 seconds into the final session. The veteran, who also
set up a goal, was making his debut with the Sharks after being
acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning over the summer.

Mike Moore made it 3-1 at 5:29, and fellow blue-liner Alexei
Semenov completed the spurt 63 seconds later. Jamie McGinn, who
also had an assist, converted during a power play with 7:39
remaining in the period to give the Sharks a 5-1 bulge.

Joe Pavelski opened the scoring with a man-advantage goal at
3:56 of the third period and added an assist for San Jose, which
limited Anaheim to 18 shots - including three in the opening
session.
